In Chérac, in the Charente-Maritime region, the Château de Dion is a 16th-century manor altered in the mid-18th century by a new owner. Its rear facade carries round towers, one of which contains square rooms, while the main front is flanked by two turrets. Inside, fireplaces and full-height wood panelling date from the 17th and 18th centuries, and a nearby stone dovecote still has its original ladder mechanism. The grounds combine a lawn with an English-style garden laid out where the old farmyard once stood.
